:p

i need a 12v, 3a dc plug/converter, what ever they're called. we've all seen them, big gigantic heavy black box plugs that take up too much room on a surge strip :p

my fan is 12v, nothing i can do about that atm, so i need a plug, as mine burnt out the other day, and my closet is currently 115f.

thanx!

i don't think they are ancient or antique. i think they come with just about everything you buy these days. i have a whole drawer full of them.

lol, now about the only thing that uses them are cell phones, which use very small ones....

lots of stuff used to be ran off direct current, but most has been replaced with ac and digital stuff.

i went through all of mine, the biggest i have is 1.5 amps... must find a bigger one...
